Losers can retreat their surviving units into neighboring CZs. Destroyed buildings and units are removed from the game. The CZ goes to the player with the most amount of infantry inside the trigger zones.

In order to conquer a CZ (if that's the intent behind the attack), it's now the job of the individual commander to maneuver as much infantry as possible into the trigger zones that were randomly placed by DCZ.Īfter a set amount of time (we're currently experimenting with two hours) OR when both commanders agree via F10 menu, the DCS mission ends and the results are evaluated. miz files from both players are then fed back into DCZ in order to generate the final battle. miz files within the ME to place their groups/units as they see fit. These files allow the players to see in which concrete areas the fight is going to take place, and where they are allowed to place units. (I'm probably going to expand the list of buildings to include FARPs, so that helicopters from such CZs can be selected as well.) The same is true for aircraft and helicopters located inside a CZ with at least one airfield. (Only these Units will take part in the conflict when selected.) In addition, both players may select pawns from outside of the zone, as long as they include SAM/RADAR/AAA. The pawn that attacks the affected zone is automatically selected, of course, and can't be deselected. These groups are then organized within pawns.Īs soon as, after a few rounds, a conflict develops between two players inside of a zone, the game asks the players which pawns to select for this conflict.Īll groups/units and all pawns of the affected zone will be available. Units are organized within groups, just like in DCS. On the map, units and groups are represented by so called pawns. Every player then sets his technological side (East or West) and the DCZ-game may begin.

Then the user invites a number of players to the game, he defines starting points on the map, and sets further options, if applicable. In the beginning, when a DCZ user starts a new game, a simple tool allows them to influence the initial layout and the number and size of the Conflict Zones. The amount of fuel that can be gained from a Conflict Zone is limited as well. Using those credits, many different kinds of buildings can be built.īuildings in turn generate 'Construction Units', 'Munition Units' as well as Infantry, 'Research Points' and 'Fuel Points' (abstract unit that stands for any type of fuel). These CZs award the player who owns them a certain amount of credits per round. Players conquer so called Conflict Zones (CZs). That means that this game, too, is round based. The project is (currently) called DCZ - Digital Conflict Zones.įirst of all it's a table top game, more precisely a Risk-clone. I'd like to introduce a project that I've been working on for a while.
